Re: i5 520 Governor's Effect on LPAR

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You have 500 cpw to play with and this means two partitions maximum. 
Each gets 250cpw (+- 10) so your partitions will each get 'half' the 
CPU.  If you want to use more than 500 you need to activate it by 
purchasing more cpws.
